<p>Hi, my friend asked me whether taking Precalculus through EPGY or CTY is better. I honestly don't know so which class would be more in depth because somethings are different between these two curricula.</p>

<p>CTY: <a href="http://www.cty.jhu.edu/math/scope/precalc.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.cty.jhu.edu/math/scope/precalc.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>EPGY: <a href="http://epgy.stanford.edu/courses/math/M013/index.html?lessons%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://epgy.stanford.edu/courses/math/M013/index.html?lessons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>why don't you just say "i'm not sure which one to choose. i haven't taken precal yet, so could you please help me?" i'm sick of all of these "my friend.."posts. everyone knows it's you! stop being so sensitive.</p>

<p>well i think precalc is the hardest math i've ever taken (but managed to get an A in it) and do not recommend anyone taking it over the summer....but if you ask me, i would say EPGY</p>

<p>It can be tough. You spend half of the year doing nothing but functions (which are very boring), and the other half doing trig (which isn't too bad).</p>

<p>Yea, it would be hard to do in one summer.</p>

<p>I'm going to do AP Calculus BC through EPGY, but I've never taken a math course from CTY so I can't really help him.</p>

<p>Eh, they're probably about equivalent. And it's probably best to learn most of the material from the textbook anyway. But looking at the curricula CTY sounds more "Mickey-Mouse" and less serious than EPGY, so I'd say go with EPGY.</p>

<p>Note that it's probably better just to take a normal class since I got an A+ in Algebra I through EPGY and didn't understand any of it. So the standards might be a bit questionable.</p>

<p>My class from CTY is going to start soon. I'm so scared. Fizix, you better help me. :p</p>

<p>I can't wait for next year! It's going to be a good year.</p>
